Eli5: Why mathematics not a science?
In: 0
Math follows the rules we made up for it, it’s language we invented to describe relationships that normal languages are not well suited for. Science tries to discover the rules that describe how reality behaves, often using math to describe how we suspect those rules work, but ultimately math itself works the way it does because that’s what we consider useful, not because the rules are some hidden truth of the universe.
